What do you like best? What I like most about the tool is that once configured the underlying tools work so well and so logically, that I can focus on creating the ideal user experience for my users. Thus increasing adoption and usage, making the tool more valuable. within the organization. Increasing the amount of user data to be reported on, etc.

What do you dislike? Some functions were developed and at different times in different ways, so there are minor inconsistencies for the Admin in how to do similar tasks in different areas of the tool. That said they release updates 4 times a year always working to get it all in sync.

What do you like best? I love CSOD's ability to be so flexible! For example, our Workday hierarchal data can be difficult as you move up and down the supervisory reports to chain. However, with CSOD I can easily solve for this with independent hierarchal overlays or connections, because the software can do the HCM piece you benefit even if you don't purchase/use that area. Likewise some function from Performance - Skills and Competencies, we are better able to tag and filter learning in a catalog that makes sense.

What do you dislike? Reporting - Auditability native and inhouse. As the Named Admin and main Product Manager - I need and would love to be able to run advanced audit and security related reporting. This is currently not possible. The only other area, which is IMPROVING, are tests and quizzes - there is full function now, but the UI is dated, and the administration as well. New functions to include mobile responsive testing (for use with the APP) will be a game changer for us.

What do you like best? The thing I like the most about Cornerstone is the broad capacity for customization. It's possible for each instance of Cornerstone to develop their own unique navigation, page, design, and functionality preferences depending on business need. Cornerstone provides an abundance of training for administrators to grow their skills with configuring the product to their specificity.

What do you dislike? I have worked with more than one LMS and Cornerstone is my favorite, but I do have a wish list. The top of my wish list is matrix management to provide more flexibility for indirect managers or training support leaders to manage employee training without assuming a direct report or approver role.

What do you like best? Cornerstone Learning provides so many options for training. We are a large organization (70k+) and so we have a large training catalog. We have needs for onboarding, large volumes of compliance-based training, and also skill-building. Learning allows us to customize learning experiences for our users that best suit the training need. We love the flexibility of LATs vs. self-assigning, and also using availability to manage who "sees" what in the catalog. And reporting... It's a life-saver!

What do you dislike? I'd love to see more options for OU Group criteria. There are times where the criteria needed just isn't available and we need to use a static group instead. It's not very often, though, so we make it work.

What do you like best? Cornerstone Learning is easy to use from both end user and administrator perspective. Over last few years they have heavily invested in site and functionality redesign making it one of the best Learning solutions. Playlists are a great addition, Learner home gives ability to promote specific courses to unique audience groups, look and feel of the site is modern and easy to customize. Cornerstone is helping to move away traditional L&D initiatives to virtual and online learning.

What do you dislike? Creating custom dashboards from Reporting 2.0 while it is a great functionality, it’s cumbersome, requires sharing initial report with end user, sharing a dashboard and giving security permissions and in the end user doesn’t see custom brand colour scheme, they only see standard colours that often do not alight with brand guidelines.

What do you like best? Out of all of the leaning management systems that I have used or evaluated, Cornerstone is the most comprehensive and easiest to use. Also, the technical support has been amazing and lightning fast in their responses.

What do you dislike? The are functional and helpful interfaces that exists in the two mobile apps (CS Mobile, CS Learn). The admin functions, specifically observation checklists, would be very helpful in the mobile or desktop site. The current interface is complicated and unusable for our purposes.

What do you like best? Cornerstone OnDemand is incredibly intuitive. It can be a little cumbersome on the admin side, but more than makes up for it with a very accessible user interface. The always evolving mobile accessibility is definitely an asset with our transient workforce.

What do you dislike? Like I said, the admin side of Cornerstone is a bit cumbersome, especially for our less technically inclined facilitators.

What do you like best? It's a straight forward and simple experience as a user. As a user, you should be able to login and find what you need pretty quickly. The system is not difficult to understand and requires little training to get up and running as a user.

What do you dislike? Administrative functionality can be challenging and integrations are somewhat limited. It's best to have an experienced admin managing the system to minimize any errors.

Hi Mandana! Thank you so much for leaving a review. We're glad to hear that the LMS is intuitive and easy to use for your end-users. The system is robust and requires some training, but hopefully, you felt supported during implementation and beyond. There are also lots of resources within the online client community. Thanks for partnering with Cornerstone!

What do you like best? Cornerstone is intuitive to learn, use, administrate, and train on. Our staff were able to quickly pick up on any changes to the system, and our training team has had a relatively easy time administering our LMS in the background.

What do you dislike? The admin features have not yet caught up with the end user experience. Most of the admin interface is a bit antiquated, and some of the functions that I would like to see have been sidetracked for a richer user experience.

What do you like best? - Flexibility, in that you can create and modify learning object titles to help group together different learning objects that should be grouped together in reports.

What do you dislike? Extremely difficult to administer recurrent training. System is biased toward preventing duplicate assignments and numerous setting changes are required to push out recurrent training. Not suited for airports that have FAR Part 139 training requirements. Very difficult to learn. "HELP" section is no help, exceptionally complex and non-intuitive, next to useless for helping to put features in any context. - Felt like a blind man trying to learn about an elephant by touching and hugging it.

What do you like best? The user interface is improving and from their perspective, it's mostly fine, but not always. It is generally stable. Latest release finally fixed some very basic HTML issues with course descriptions, but an issue that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Customer service has improved, but is still 50/50 on usefulness.

What do you dislike? From the admin perspective, it is a daily slog trying to understand and figure out basic functions. Nearly every function is more difficult than it needs to be. Need to know HTML coding to do simple formatting. The training and Help functions are poor to average. Company charges $200 to take an automated certification exam which advertises their own product. I stump Support about half the time with simple questions. It's obviously dated with piecemeal fixes. Too much to list here.

What do you like best? There are some features that are standard, but there is nothing that I really like. Due to its complicated nature, it is not easy to replace administrators - so one could argue that it is good in securing jobs. Ask yourself whether you really need a jack of all trades that doesn't really do anything well. Just ask salespeople to show you how a quiz/test looks for a user and you will see that this system is far from being a modern LMS.

What do you dislike? It looks quite dated. The UI is inconsistent and shows so much stuff that I don't need. I could write a book about how they could improve usability (e.g., "test engine" -> "create test"). They implement new features that initially look good, but are neither well integrated nor do they have a good UX. We didn't even try to implement the learners home after we heard from two other very well known international companies that they didn't implement it after thorough testing.
